Cloning 8-1 Cloning When using the cloning function, all setting information (including memory data) of one transceiver (master unit) can be transferred and copied to another transceiver (slave unit) by connecting them with a cable. Connecting the Transceivers Connect the external speaker jacks on both the master and slave transceivers with a commercially available Ø3.5 stereo mini plug cable. After connecting them, switch the both units' power ON. Caution: Connect the cable ONLY while the transceiver power is OFF. Master To SP jack on the transceiver Slave To SP jack on the transceiver Ø3.5 stereo mini plug cable 32
8. Cloning Transmitting the Master Data 1. Press and hold the MONI key and press the PTT key three times. "CLONE" appears on the display to indicate the Clone mode is activated. 2. Press the PTT key. "Sd " is displayed and internal setting information is transferred into the "slave" transceiver. "PASS" appears when the cloning completes. The same data is transmitted by pressing the PTT key while the "PASS" is displayed. If the data is not transmitted correctly, "PASS" is not displayed. Repeat from procedure 1. Cloning Complete 3. To cancel the Clone mode, switch the power off. Caution: If the cable is not connected correctly, "CHECK" appears on the display. Check the cable connection again. 33
8. Cloning Receiving the Master Data 1."Ld " appears on the slave transceiver's display while the master data is transmitted. "Ld 078" remains displayed when the cloning is completed. The receiving side cannot recognize whether the data has been transmitted correctly. Check to see if "PASS" is displayed on the transmitting (master) side. 2. Switch the transceiver power OFF. Caution Do not disconnect the cable while cloning. All data in the slave transceiver will be updated to the master transceiver's data during the cloning operation. Be sure you want to change everything before cloning. 34
9. Maintenance and Reference 9. Maintenance and Reference 9-1 Resetting When you reset the transceiver, all settings are returned to the initial factory (default) settings. 1. Turn the power ON while the FUNC key and V/M key are held down. 2. When all the display indications appear, release the FUNC key. The transceiver enters the VFO mode.
